I was (and I guess still am) a big fan of the first 3 mks. This conversion was decent and I'm glad I bought it, but it could have been so much more. The AI was already mentioned (far too easy) and the sound was greatly stripped down- I wish they could have just left the sound effects mostly intact (as in the snes version), the music was adequate but not great. And the blood was watered down compared to the arcade. But the gameplay was intact, MUCH better than the snes version which was extremely sluggish (just try doing Raiden's torpedo on snes and see how long it takes). Unfortunately, the sega cd rev was no big improvement- the arcade tunes were there (in the wrong freakin' order though, god...) but the graphics and sound effects were recycled from the genny. Only a few touchups here and there and a few more frames of animation. Lazy ass Probe, they could have done so much more especially considering how looong the cd rev was delayed. But when all is said and done, sega's hardware produced the best home versions of MK1, except for the great pc port of course.
